(Owner acted very quickly on this and was very apologetic and has assured us it was completely out of character. Would give 5 out of 5 for his attitude and would probably use again because of this) Viewed a property with Lane and Holmes and to be quite honest the agent dealing with it was a completely disinterested from the start. Made an offer on the property and was told in a very rude and condescending manner that it wasnt enough and we needed to carry on looking for another property. Far from professional Cathie ...

I am very sorry to hear that you have had a poor experience. The process for the particular property that you were interested in is a little different than for most properties and I think that maybe we have lost something in translation. Please do call me and I will try and explain where we are on this particular one. We are unhappy if anyone is unhappy with our service and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss furtther with you. Nick Kier

Lane & Holmes were selling what has become our new home 🏑. From the moment we met Katherine, their Sales Negotiator, we received nothing but incredible communication, advice and assistance. Katherine embodies everything that you could want from an agent selling your home - knowledgeable, professional, friendly and helpful. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble for her and she definitely went above and beyond what was necessary. First impressions really count and whenever we are asked about Estate Agents in the area we will continue to sing her praises.

Agent replied Β· 6 July 2023

Thank you so much for your tip top review. Katherine is an extremely valued member of the team and will be made up to have been appreciated by you in this way. I do hope that you have settled well in to your new home. All best.

Thank you to all the team at the Bedford branch for your help and support during the sale of the bungalow. We really appreciated the efforts you went to and the professional way in which you dealt with the whole process. The friendly and upbeat environment and interactions made all the difference, particularly with the challenges that arose along the way. Sue & Liz (& Laura!)

Lane & Holmes did an excellent job for us when selling our home and purchasing the next one. Even through the inevitable little 'challenges' provided by others in the chain, Ross resolved them and kept us informed right through to completion. Thanks Ross

If you are moving house, then I would recommend no one better than Lane & Holmes. They go above and beyond and have excellent customer service. Ross Dougall made everything run smoothly and is a credit to Lane & Holmes.

I recently sold 2 houses with the help of Ross. He is the most patient man , keeps you calm , and is always available to be contacted. His negotiation skills are second to none. I highly recommend him for your purchase or sale of your property.

We selected on reputation and weren’t disappointed. Competitive rates and they certainly worked for their fees. The team took the time to view our house and opine on the best way to market the house before a fantastic brochure was produced which showed the house at its best. The personal service from one of the partners and full sales team put us at ease and delivered the best possible result for us in a very short time. We went to market full of confidence and the team delivered a long list of viewings and offers in a very short time. The support continued right up to moving out day and took most of the stress away from us. We will use the team again if we need to, and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Lane & Holmes offered a fantastic service throughout the sale of our property. The team kept us fully updated during the process and dealt with any requests quickly and professionally. Would definitely recommend and will use again (if we decide to move in the future!). Great Estate Agents with much local knowledge and understanding of the housing market.

Great all round service from the team during the pre and post sales process. Having first purchased and then sold a house through Lane & Holmes. I would say the post-sales support offered by Cathy makes a big difference; especially if you end up in a chain.

We have just completed the sale of my late mother-in-law's house - Ross and all the team at Lane and Holmes could not have been more helpful and professional. We were out of the UK for several weeks during the process but were kept up to date via email at every stage. Ross even recommended and engaged appropriate tradespeople on our behalf to deal with minor maintenance issues on the house while we were 4000 miles away - incredible service! We would recommend Lane and Holmes without hesitation to anyone in the Bedford area looking to buy or sell a house. We will be considering a house move ourselves in the next few months and wouldn't think of using any other estate agent.

Problems elsewhere in the chain made our house sale a protracted affair. At every stage Lane and Holmes provided a service that was professionally efficient and sympathetic and gave us support both practical and moral; we appreciated their reassuring manner. We are particularly grateful to Ross and Cathy who kept abreast of developments, dealt with questions promptly, intervened with suggestions where appropriate and, critically, kept us informed. We were also impressed with the marketing of our house. We cannot recommend Lane and Holmes highly enough.

I recently used L&H to sell my house. They've been fantastic, the whole team are super friendly. Someone always answers the phone,a lways gets back to you when they say they will. They actually did a lot of chasing and admin with regards to the solicitors and finalising details too, couldn't have done it without them. Glad i didn't!!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
